Secretary’s Commission on the Acquisition of Necessary Skills (SCANS)- SCANS skills are a group of foundational skills and workplace competencies that the Secretary’s Commission on the Acquisition of Necessary Skills established as vitally important for workplace success in the 21st century. In Collin’s workforce programs, the SCANS skills are developed and reinforced throughout the curriculum to provide students with an opportunity to hone these skills/competencies in the context of their education. Over the course of an entire degree program, the successful student is expected to demonstrate all of the SCANS skills and competencies as part of their education.
